No. 8 - Yellow Jasmine Par 5, 570 yards

Description:
A large fairway bunker makes this par-5 difficult to reach in two shots. A blind uphill shot awaits those who are tempted to go for it in two.

1934 yardage: 500, par 5

Original Intent

"(The green) is completely visible for the third shot and a player who is sufficiently long to get up in two will be able to define the position of the green owing to the size of the surrounding hillock."--- Alister Mackenzie
